They Take Another Turn at the Johns
Estate-Lawyers Bring Suit to Enforce. a
Contraction Saturday last, in the Baltimore
county Circuit Court, Messrs. Edwin Fitzgerald
1. Nevett Steele, Arthur W. Machen, D. G. McIn-
tosh, John l. Yellott, Chas E. Garitee and the firm
of Brown & Bruno filed bill in equity against
Sarah W. Hodges Annie R. Caldwell ct al, to re-
cover counsel fees for services in the John folly
Johns will case, which was so much litigated some
time ago. Compliments say that there were six
alleged testamentary papers, and the contest even
tually ended in compromse-the "Dover Farm"
being sold in consequence. They further allege
that Annie R. Caldwell and husband made q con-
tract with John I. Yellott and Charles e. Garitee
and that Sarah W. Hodges and Edward Fitzgerald,
trustee (she having made deed of trust to the
latter,) entered into similar contract with l.
Nevett Steele, Cuttings, Machen and Mcintosh,
and Brown & Bruno, whereby the attorneys were
to receive one-third of the property received by
both heirs at law-their cients-to be divided as
follows: One fourth to 1. Nevett Steele, same to
Yellott and Garitee, same to Cuttings, Machen and
Mcintosh and the last fourth to the firm of Brown
& Bruno; that complainants secured all the Johns
property to the two heirs named, except $4,000,
which was paid as a compromise to extinguish the
claims of Henry V. D. Johns and wife, John Johns,
wife and son, John Kinney Johns, and all other
claimants; that Mrs. Annie r. Caldwell appointed
her husband, John Caldwell, as trustee, and the
other heirs appointed Mr.. f. Bruno as trustee to
receive the rents and income of the estate and de-
post them, after paying such expenses as the
tate might be subjected to, to the joint account of
complainants and the two heirs (their clents,) in
the Merchants National Bank; that this done
for a time only, and complainants believe that
some $4,000 and over have come into the hands of
Caldwell, and not been accounted for; also, that
timber is being cut from the land, and various
other things done to compliments detriment and
in violation of the contract above mentioned.
They, therefore, pray that the property may be
divided according to the terms of their contract,
and if not susceptible of division in kind, that it
all be sold, SO that complainants receive their
respective shares from the proceeds

A Pretty Close Gallon Sunday morning
last Mr.. J. Wesley Lee, of Towsontown, accom-
panied by Mr.. Daniel Harding, had an experience
which made their hair stand up for few minutes.
They were driving in buggy and were approach
ing the track of the Northern Central railroad at
a crossing about midway between Sherwood and
Luthervie. Before driving the track they
stopped to listen and hearing sound they started
to cross Hardly had they got upon the track
running about mile minute, rounded the curve
just below the crossing. In an instant they saw
their danger and whipping up the horse managed
to clear the track when the engines pilot was not
more than five feet from them. The crossing is
one that is very little used and the whistle was
not sounded for it. 1t was very close call and
one that they will not soon forget.

Said to be q Panacea.-Attention has of late
been called to a mixture, said to have been found
very eficacious in Tennessee, in preventing swine
disease and in curing the maIady or maladies so
conveniently designated as "cholera." The for
mula is as follows: Extract of logwood, four
ounces blue stone, four drachms mix these with
six pints of boiling water. To this add Il pints
of turpentine, the quantity of kerosene, also
of raw linseed oil. This makes 1O1 pints, to
which is added about 81 pints of pokeroot tea,
and the whole will make one dose (of one pint
each) for 80 hogs. "Blue-stone in this recipe is
also called blue vitriol. 1t is sulphate of copper
and is not the same as copperas. The latter is
sulphate of iron and called also green vitriol. As
preventive of disease, by the destruction of dis
ease germs and intestinal worms, the above pres
cription is we'll suited to inspire confidence it its
efficiency"

Rockdale, I'd Distinctive regret to learn
that Mr. Joseph Marriott is again quite ill. Dur
ing the past few months his general health had
improved but last week while taking short walk
his cane slipped and he fell. He Immediately be-
came so much worse that the family seriously
alarmed. His lower limbs are affected in such q
manner that he can neither stand nor lie down,
thus adding to and aggravating the pain of the
disease by the WEAKNESS of remaining in one posi-
ton. His son. Rev. o. C. Marriott, of Long Green,
came home to visit his father on the 10th inst.
Mrs. DIR. Jameson, who was very low with
pneumonia, has recovered sufficiently to venture

A Deed to be Valid Must be DeliUered-The
Supreme Court of Pennsylvania has just passed
adversely upon interesting equity suit in
which it was sought to make operative a deed
which was duly executed, acknowledged and seal
ed but never delivered. The deed was from
Maria F. Duraind to her sster-in-law Louisa
Duraind, as trustee for the latter's children, and
conveyed property at the northeast corner of
Twelfth street and Sleeps alley in Philadelphia.
After executing the deed Marie Duraind kept it in
her custody, and after her death, nearly five years
afterwards, it was found in her trunk. Louisa
Duraind then brought an equity suit to compel
but the court dismissed the bill. The Supreme
Court afirms this Judgment, in the following brief
opinion "a delivery is essentially necessary to
give effect to deed. The signing and sealing
are insufficient. In the present case it is conclu-
sively shown that the deed, although signed and
acknowledged, remained in the possession of the
person who signed it until her death. In law it
is not Il deed"

Causes Of Typhoid Fever.-The annals of Hy-
giene says: "The most important lesson to be
learned by the public in reference to typhoid fever
is that it is "flth disease"-not sometimes, not
generally, but al,oays. And perhaps the next in
Importance is that while the production of the dis
ease probably requires that the morbifc agent
shall be brought into contact with the alimenlary
mucous membrane, as in food or drink, it is posi-
BILE for the saivary fluids in the mouth and throat
to absorb the poison from the atmosphere and thus
become the medium of its transmission to the
stomach. There is also third lesson of no less
value to US, viz: That various articles of food,
and especially milk, water and other fluid foods,
possess the same property of absorbing the fever
poison from the atmosphere and thus becoming
the vehicles of its introduction into the system.
Food stored in pantries and kitchens, absorbing
the poison from neighboring drains and vaults,
furnish the explanation of nearly all the called
sporadic" cases of true typhoid fever. In large
proportion of cases it will be discovered on exam
ination that odorous carnations from kitchen
drains, but more frequently from privy vaults, are
easily perceptible to the in the where
food is stored and where it is being prepared for
the table. In most of the observations | have
made this subject, it has appeared to be the
vault rather than the drain that has been respon-
sible for the evil"

How to Detect Counterfeit Coin.-The
three signs of q counterfeit coin are not often
needed by a careless public. bad piece'of silver
has hollow ring ora light weight or an imper;-

to pass imperfect money.

Mr.. Foard, living near Blue Mount Station, N.

last week. A new county road has lately been
opened through his property to Blue Mount, by

agitated the opening of said road should help Mr..
Foard to bear his loss, the road has never been
of any benefit to any one who could not have done
without it.

Oyster Supper Subtitle Circuit Court
was occupied on Thursday in the trial of the case
of Kaher VS.. SCHUYLER, appeal from Justice Hev
ern. 1t appeared that Mr.. Joseph Schiller en-
gagged the public hall of Mr.. August Kahler, who
keeps a store and hotel on the Philadelphia road,
for THANKSGIVING nlgnt, anu ordereo an oystei
supper for Is couple, composed of young people
from the city, number of whom belonged to a
club called the "Mikado Socials." Mr.. Schiller,
as appeared by the testimony, made himself re-
sponsible for the cost. Thanksgiving night came;
the supper was ready, and the hall in readiness ];
but the "Mikados" subjects did not put in an APP
pearance. Mr.. Schiller contended that he merely
acted as agent for the "Mikado's," and delivered
messages between them and Mr.. Kahler. This
was denied by Mr.. Kaher and his witnesses, who
stated that Mr.. Schiller had made a positive
agreement with Mr.. X. by which he (Schuler)
became personally responsible. Mr.. Kahler
brought suit before Justice Hevern, who gave
judgment against him, whereupon he took an
appeal through his attorney, John f. Centrum,
Esq. The case was tried before a jury and re-
suited in verdict for the plaintiff, Kahler, for
$500 and costs, reversing the judgment of the
magistrate. The oyster supper will prove an ex-
pensive matter to Mr.. Schiller, as the judgment
and costs foot up about $4,000 Messrs. John F.
Centrum & Ensor represented the plaintiff, Kah-
Ter, and Mr.. John Grason, the defendant.

his profession. While waiting for the car upon
which he was to return to Baltimore, his eye fell
upon the name Schotta over q shoemakers shop
in the village "That is the name of the most in
innate friend of my youth, with whom 1 came to
America" he said to himself. ~ wonder if this
can be relative of his" The strangers curiosity
was aroused to such extent that he entered the
little shop and made inquiry, eiciting the fact
that the village shoemaker was son of his old
friend, who had adopted the name of Scott and
had been lost sight of for years. The sons, how
ever, had resumed the old name.
CATER some conversation about old family mat
tiers the son remembered that he had received
copy of German newspaper in which his name
appeared, but being unable to read the German
language he could not make out the purport of
the article. The paper was found and handed to
the stranger, who read the article, which proved
to be an advertisement for the heirs of Karl Fred
erick August Schotta, bachelor, who was born
August II, 1903, and had died some time before,
leaving fortune of $4,000 marks. None of the
heirs in Germany having been able to establish
their claim, the advertisement was circulated in
America. "That was your fathers brother, and you
and your brother the heirs advertised for. l
can testify to it,, said the stranger to his aston
ished auditor.
"The matter was placed in the hands OF Mr..
Louis P. Hennighausen, of the Baltimore bar, who
instituted proceedings which resulted in the rec
ognition Of the Maryland heirs, and they have
each received three payments from the estate.
Their names are Charles f. Schotta and August
Schotta, of Gainesville, and George Schotta and
John Schotta, of Baltimore. Mr.. Hennighausen
and his wife will sail from Baltimore on June l,
to be absent ty rec months. Mr.. Hennighausen
will combine business with pleasure. One of his
errands is to look after the Schotta estate. The
whole estate was valued at $lS,000."
